Yes, it’s true, I finally put in my window a/c unit this morning. I hadn’t installed it thus far this summer because after a couple of days, the weather would always cool down, so I could survive with the fans I’ve got in my place. But this morning was the final straw…when I woke up and walked across the room to turn off the fan, I started sweating…at 7:40am. I paused for about 30 seconds, and then I decided that it was time. So I pulled out the screen from the window, lugged over the a/c, and slid that puppy in. And it’s working great! Within 10 minutes of turning it on, my bedroom is already 4 degrees colder. Nice. Of course my bedroom is quite teeny tiny, so that’s not surprising. But now I have my cold room. Mwah haha.

I normally don’t turn on the a/c that often, just when the humidity’s really high. That’s what does it, the humidity. I can deal with 32 degrees when it’s dry, but with the humidity making it feel like 44, 45 degrees, that’s just too much. I once went to a wedding in Kelowna, BC a few years ago, and they had a heat wave where the coldest day was 35 degrees. The day of the wedding was a sweltering 39 degrees. BUT, BC tends to get dry heat, so it was nice. Sure, it was hot, but when you sweat, your body actually cooled off.

Ah, the joys of July summer in the city.

Oh, and wish me luck this morning, as I’ve got a job interview! Plus I’m meeting another recruiter this afternoon. Yesterday was a banner day, I fielded phone calls & e-mails from 6 different recruiters that I haven’t spoken to before. Impressive.
